While such land projects are currently the focus of widespread media and scholarly interest, the role of the state in driving, negotiating and facilitating these acquisitions deserves closer attention. This book analyzes how state land policies, stakeholder interactions and privatization schemes interact to facilitate large-scale land acquisitions. It includes a study of the various forms of state intervention, the influence of foreign agencies, governments and private entities, and a look at how states interact with local populations. The inclusion of case studies in settings throughout the African continent should attract the interest of both an academic and non- academic readership. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Land use, Rural|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85074350|zAfrica.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85001531-781 650 0 Real property|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85111739|zAfrica|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85001531-781|xForeign ownership.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005057 650 0 Farm ownership|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85047236|zAfrica.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85001531-781 650 0 Investments, Foreign|zAfrica.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008104891 650 7 Land use, Rural.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 991587 650 7 Real property.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1091096 650 7 Farm ownership.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/921149 650 7 Investments, Foreign.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 978370 651 7 Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1239509 655 4 Electronic books. 655 4 Libros electronicos. 700 1 Evers, Sandra.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n97068812 700 1 Seagle, Caroline.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2013029476 700 1 Krijtenburg, Froukje,|d1956-|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2013029474 776 08 |iPrint version:|tAfrica for sale?|dLeiden ; Boston : Brill, 2013|z9789004251939|w(DLC) 2013011078 |w(OCoLC)830992874 830 0 Afrika-Studiecentrum series ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n2003039508|vv. 29. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=585965|zOnline eBook.
